Something has just occurred to me. About six weeks ago, I wrote a series of posts about the renovation of my formerly regrettably pink bathroom. These posts were a hodgepodge of details about the actual “transformation” or renovation that was taking place in my bathroom at my home.

During the majority of the project my shower was out of commission and I was having to used the shower in the basement of my office building of which I have the fortune (misfortune?) of working in the property management office and have, therefor, free reign over/access to the shower in question.

Now, I’m a dude, which should say enough, right there, but I’m also Gay, relatively new to the acceptance thereof, and a “gay virgin”. Translation, I’m horny most of the time. Using this shower in the basement of my office building was, at least the first few times, a sexually arousing proposition for me. It is a private shower, in a locked room so it wasn’t that exciting, but it provided some opportunities to fantasize and masturbate. These experiences provided fodder for the blog and while I was writing about the remodel of my bathroom I was also writing about these experiences which means my tags for these posts were things like, “Male Nude, Nude Male, Gay Sex, Fantasy, Fantasizing, Masturbate, etc.”

To this day, when I look at my blog stats, those “Bathroom Transformation” posts are heavily hit. And when I look at the terms that lead people to my blog on those same days, it’s usually things like “Male Nude, Nude Male, Gay Sex, Fantasy, Fantasizing, Masturbate, etc.”

So today I was looking at my blog stats – I guess I have a secret fantasy to become a popular blog… ist? Is Bloggist a word? and so I watch my stats closely – and suddenly I had this mental image:

I’m sitting at home in my chair, feet up, naked, looking for some “inspirational material”. So I log onto WordPress and I do a search for “Male Nude”. Surely I’ll at least get some nice pictures to look at right? Maybe I’m in a certain kinda mood, looking for a certain kinda something when I see it. “Bathroom Transformation, Day 6”. Maybe this is what I want to see. Maybe I like a little raunch, or a little water sports, or a little… Whatever someone might be looking for, and interested in when they see “Male Nude” and “Bathroom Transformation” in the same context.

So I click on the link. Maybe I’m already a little excited. Maybe I’m partially hard and I’m already oozing. Maybe I’ve already got my dick in my hand and I’m ready to go. And there at the bottom of the screen I see the very top of a picture. Let me scroll down to that! Wait! What the–! It’s a- A BATHROOM. What the hell kinda smut is this guy writing. Oh shit. This post is about renovating a bathroom.

The son of a bitch pulled a bait and switch on me!

But at least I helped him boost his numbers for today!

And if nothing else? For that, I thank you! Oh, and, did I mention… I gotcha again!

Nine days down, one day to go. Today finds the tile in, the walls painted, the vanity in position and the basin and counter in place, the faucet installed (though not yet functioning), and the lighting fixture in place. Take a look:

Tomorrow is supposed to be the last day of the main project: The sink gets plumbed in. The fixures (i.e. towel rods, toilet paper dispenser, etc.) get installed. The mirror and storage cupboard get hung. I hope the door, door frame, window frame and shutters get painted, and the door rehung. And there’s still a few baseboard tiles to get grout. Friday Adorable Little Contractor is off to Oregon. I still don’t have a shower curtain rod, or a makeshift shower curtain.

Wheeler Dealer Land Lady was referred to a showroom where she should be able to find an existing shower curtain rod. But apparently, it won’t be installed until Monday, September 15th. So I’m looking at over a week of using the trickle at the office. The charm has definitely worn off… Not that I didn’t get myself a good wank in their anyway, but the new has worn off and without some company, it’s just not what it could be. Today I revisited the Fantastical Engineer services me and my undercarriage while I rub one out on his shiny bald head fantasy. I need to come up with something new…

Anyway, someone from a company called “Mr. Bathtub” is coming on Saturday, September 13, 2008 to “redo” my bathtub. I don’t really know what that means, I just know that my bath tub is supposed to be shiny and pristine and new looking so it will fit in with the rest of the newly redone bathroom!

Adorable Little Contract comes back on September 15th to hang the shower curtain rod, grout the gap between the tub and the tile and resolve any open items that haven’t been solved.

It’s kind of funny, but there’s a part of me that is sad that it’s ending. Scared kitty will be glad it’s over as he has been spending his days locked up in the kitchen with no soft furniture to sleep on and where it gets somewhat steamy. But I can’t have him roaming free while ALC is trying to do his work and often needs to leave the front door open. I admit that I expected to see more of ALC. I got the impression from him at the beginning of this endeavor that he’d be working long days and that I’d see him, probably before I left for work and almost certainly when I got home. In a strange way, when this first started, I almost felt like I had a husband to come home too (and I could certainly have done worse.) I expected more discussions about schedules and when we’d see each other and the like. I guess, truthfully I’m grateful that we didn’t interact more, since his presence is a disruption for me, but I hoped for more contact.

The more I think about it, the more I think he very well might be a Friend of Dorothy. I recall that his use of pronouns (In his limited discussion about himself) never went beyond “we”. He never talked about “she” or “my wife” or “my girlfriend”. Though, admittedly he also never talked about a boyfriend or husband. It has been extremely hot these last two weeks and I don’t have air conditioning which means that it’s been quite hot in my house while he works. I’ve seen him in shorts twice now – he has great calves – and he seems not to have much (if any) hair on his legs either. He’s as “average white” as I am so it’s not like he’s likely of a heritage that doesn’t grow much body hair. I do believe he’s blond (he always wears a baseball hat) but not super light to where his body hair should be unnoticeable… Of course I realize there are all kinds of simple explanations for this that don’t make him gay, but then again, maybe he is… He has a great little ass and small waist too!

Tonight, as I was gathering the ingredients for my dinner, my front door open but outer gate closed and locked and with me wearing no clothes, I daydreamed/fantasized about him coming back to the house to do more work and letting himself in never expecting to find me naked. My fantasy didn’t go beyond the awkward…

ALC: Oh! I’m sorry, I didn’t realize…

Me: Oh my God. I didn’t’ think… I’m sorry… I’ll just go put some clothes on… Unless… Well, unless you like what you see, in which case I won’t… ‘Cause I’ve been thoroughly enjoying what I’ve been seeing…

The fantacy didn’t go beyond that point, but wouldn’t it have been nice…

Somewhat surprisingly, Adorable Little Contractor came back today to lay the tile for the floor. He told me yesterday that it would be a half-day job. He showed up at around 9:30 this morning and was here until about 6:15 this evening.

The tile is fragile and the floor was put in, in a diamond pattern so there was a lot of cutting to be done. It took a lot longer than ALC had expected. The tile is in and glued down but the grout won’t go in till Monday morning.

The shower curtain issue is sort of resolved. ALC hung a curtain of thick plastic from the ceiling by staples so that i could use the shower. But the guy who is making the curtain rod won’t be here till “sometime” next week to see what’s needed and who knows how long it’ll take to fabricate and be installed. Meanwhile, Adorable Little Contractor wants to do the painting on Tuesday, which should include the ceiling so I’m not sure what that will mean for me and my ability to shower at home.

Today was the day I was hoping to avoid in that this was the day he had to take the toilet out. It was out of commission for about 8 hours. I actually ended up peeing in the kitchen sink once. Shhh! Don’t tell anybody. Wasn’t my ideal choice but what was I to do? I have no idea what Adorable Little Contractor did about his needs, but I can’t help but wonder… or wish I’d been there.

I went out for a while and met up with a couple frineds to go to a movie. Went to see Disaster Movie. It was stupid funny as can be. I love stupid funny, usually. The last “stupid funny, spoof” movie I saw was Remember The Spartans. THAT movie sucked in my opinion. This movie was pretty good. And it stars Matt Lanter who I have thought was delicious ever since he was on Comander in Chief. Got me pretty horney! Come to think of it, I still haven’t done anything about that!

I was a little worried when I came home and Adorable Little Contractor was still working on the floor and hadn’t put the toilet back. It’s amazing how much you “need” something when you definately can’t have it. Fortunately, he was finished about an hour or so later and when I was in need of the toilet, it was ready and waiting.

The tile in the shower has been sealed and my shower head has been mounted again. The black plastic is hung form the ceiling as a temporary shower curtain. It’ll be another week or two before the new shower curtain rod is fabricated and installed.

The floor has been “floated” and Adorable Little Contractor is coming back tomorrow to put in the floor tile. This also means the toilet has to come out which means there’ll be no toilet at my disposal while he’s doing the work. He will put the toilet back in at the end of every day, but as long as I’m not hanging around the house while he’s working that won’t be a problem. Since tomorrow is Saturday, however, that may be a problem. I may have to find somewhere else to be tomorrow…

Today he also took out the medicine cabinet and in wall toilet paper dispenser. He also installed the second electrical outlet that I requested on the far side of where the vanity will be. I’ve made the final selection on the paint and he plans to paint on Tuesday.

I’m glad to have the use of my shower back. The shower at work was growing tiresome. As I said yesterday, I believe ever good day starts with a good wank, but it was more of the same. Same fantasy about the same engineer. Same trickle of water, meant to provide the cleansing desired from taking a shower in the first place. It was fun for a time, but now I’m glad I won’t need to use that shower anymore.

Dry wall is in, tile is up, and grouted. Tomorrow it gets sealed and tomorrow night the shower should be whole. My only concern is that the issue of the shower curtain rod has not been resolved. Since my shower only has two walls instead of three, I need a shower curtain rod that turns and covers the other two sides. Wheeler Dealer Landlady was saying she’d probably have to have one custom fabricated and in the meantime I can just keep using the one that was already here. That’s fine, except that if the mounting mechanism is different in anyway, then there could end up being extraneous holes in the new marble tile, and that would be tragic.

On a side note, I was hoping this renovation would include building a third side to the shower surround but apparently there isn’t enough space between the tub and the toilet to build the wall and still be code compliant. Oh well, it was worth a shot.

I probably still won’t be able to use the shower until some time Saturday, but at least we’re making progress on that. Using the shower at work has been fun, exciting and arousing all at the same time… But it’s also been a pain in the ass. There’s just not enough water pressure and I feel a bit exposed there. I also don’t feel like I’m getting rinsed as well as I like when I’m washing off the soap because of the low pressure. I have a hand held shower head/massager/do-hickey. I really like having the control as to where the water is aimed and the intensity of the spray. The hardest, most focused setting feels pretty damn good while I’m rinsing my sphincter. Definitely not getting that while I’m using the trickle er, uh– Shower at work. Wheeler Dealer Landlady has bought some pretty nice fixtures for my new bathroom so I’m going to give those a try before I go back to my hand held shower head but I assume even the new shower head she bought will have more pressure than this thing at work.

I’m a firm believer that every good day starts with a good wank, so I took advantage of the unusual circumstances with the shower at work again. I gotta say, I doubt that I’m the only guy who has used that shower and has jerked off while there. The really kinky, nasty side of me really got off on the idea that I was just adding to the… shall we say, gene pool. Of course I’m sure the shower has been cleaned since the last time someone besides me rubbed one out in there, but it adds to the fantasy, I guess. And speaking of fantasies… My Fantastical Engineer, played a role again this morning. He’s an Asian man. He shaves his head. And he’s about 8 inches shorter than I am. I fantasized this morning about him servicing me. Using his mouth to bring me to the brink, and then putting some time into my… Undercarriage seems like a good word… And while he was doing that, I jerked it till I came, blowing my load all over his smooth, freshly shorn head. What a blast! Too bad he wasn’t there to enjoy it!

Hmmm. I seem to have gotten a bit side tracked… Albeit a good side track.

So where was I… Ah yes, the bathroom. I’m thrilled with the progress Adorable Little Contractor has made today. It feels like things are really starting to come together now. I narrowed down my paint selections today. There are three options of three different shades that I’ve narrowed it down to. It doesn’t show up very well, but the sample in this picture is the most likely choice at this point.

I’m not especially thrilled that the border pieces of the tile are far whiter than the squares, but I don’t guess there’s anything to be done about it now.

It’s not terrible but it’s not great either. Maybe it’ll stand out less once the project is done.

The paint sample is called Livingston Olive, a light olive color. I was not at all sure about it at Home Depot, and when Unsvelt Girl and I went to the Expo today to look at the samples against the console, it was the third choice and Unsvelt Girl thought it was too yellow. I ended up having to come by the house right after that (Scared Kitty, somehow liberated himself from the kitchen and I had to rectify the problem.) While we were here, I taped the samples up to the wall. Next to the tile and in the natural sunlight it was a completely different color. It was suddenly first choice!

Moving on. Remember this? Today, it looks like this…

The medicine cabinet is also coming out. There will be a larger mirror over the vanity and there will be a second outlet on the other side of the vanity. The new vanity is taller than the old one but the back splash will be standard four-ish inches above the surface. So there will be some wall repair to be done.

The next obvious step for this area is to tile, grout and seal the floor before Adorable Little Contractor can bring in the new vanity and hook up the plumbing. The other two paint samples are in the top right corner of this picture, and while you can’t get a great look at those either, you can see that they are darker than the first choice. The real deciding factor will be when the floor is done and the vanity is in. The tile on the floor and the slab on top of the vanity are all the same as the shower so between that and the large window, I’d think there’d be a lot of light, however, the vanity is a dark stained wood…. Decisions, decision…

So day two has come and gone and the news is not as good as one would hope.

I got home tonight after therapy, having already been informed that things didn’t go as planned and the tile wasn’t going to be finished to find this…

“Not finished!?! He didn’t even start the fucking tile! What the fuck did he do all day?!?” No, really, I realize there’s a lot of stuff I don’t know about construction and I know he may have done quite a bit in the wall before hanging the sheet rock. So whatever. I also knew going into this that there was a possibility that the shower would be unavailable to me for a day or two. Looks like that day or two is tomorrow and possibly Thursday.

This presents an interesting opportunity for me. There is a small changing room/shower in the basement of my office building which is for the building engineers to use in the event of some kind of accident requiring showering, etc. Also, one of our engineers runs Lake Merritt every day on his lunch break and takes a shower in there afterward. I can take a shower in there before going to my office for the day. I’m not thrilled with the idea of taking a shower in a community space, but on the other hand… it’s a community space… 🙂

The shower is a pretty good sized shower stall with no door or curtain on it. So it’s open to the room. The room locks from the inside and I don’t think there is a lock on the outside, so I don’t really have to worry too much about being walked in on. I don’t know if this is strange to some of my readers or not but the whole prospect turns me on and I’m counting the moments till I can get in there and jerk it. Promises to be a very arousing experience!

We have one Engineer who I am very attracted to. He’s a Christian and a married man with three kids so I know perfectly well that nothing is going to happen there, but I can always fantasize that he’ll walk in on me and join in on the fun…
